Paladins are masters of long-range combat, well-balanced between weapons and magic. They focus on ranged weapons like bows, crossbows and spears to a deadly effect. They advance very fast in distance fighting and are quite capable in magic as well.

Paladins are not severely lacking in any area, but decimating enemies from afar with ranged weapons is what they do best. Below level 150 paladins focus on single-target combat, over that level they get access to AoE ammunition.

Benefits

• Paladins can often hunt certain monsters at a lower level than other classes because of their high damage output and long range of attack
• At lower levels Paladins are very cost-efficient due to the good "damage cost" to "damage output" ratio.
• Paladins get the most value from elemental charms and can farm charm points relatively quickly.
• Paladins benefit highly from Onslaught weapon upgrade, as they use two AoE attacks per turn (ammunition + rune or AoE spell)
• Unlike knights, who tend to have a different weapon for each hunting ground, paladins can do well using their strongest bow in every hunt.
• Paladins have access to multiple pieces of gear granting Death protection.
• Paladins advance very quickly in distance fighting, even faster than knights do in melee skills
• Quick advancement in shielding (at the same rate as knights)
• Access to a solid array of spells
• The only class that can use holy damage spells, effective against undead and demonic creatures
• The only class that can use potions that restore health and mana simultaneously
• More capacity than sorcerers and druids
• More hitpoints and faster regeneration than sorcerers and druids
• More mana and faster regeneration than knights
• Faster advancement in magic level than knights

Drawbacks

• Paladins have limited access to multi-target damage sources below level 150.
• Paladins rely mainly on physical and holy damage and unlike other classes have very limited access to elemental weapons.
• Paladins suffer from decreased accuracy when attacking enemies within melee range. This effect is nullified by high (over 90) distance fighting skill, as discovered by Tibia-Stats).
• Paladins cannot hunt without ammunition and large amounts of it take up a lot of carrying capacity
• Less capacity than knights
• Less mana and slower regeneration than sorcerers and druids
• Less hitpoints and slower regeneration than knights
• Slower advancement in magic level than sorcerers and druids

Advancement and regeneration

Stat increase per level

After advancing to the next level, every player receives an increase in capacity, maximum hitpoints and maximum mana.

Paladins gain:

• 20 oz of capacity
• 10 hitpoints
• 15 mana

Regeneration

As time passes, every player will regenerate lost hitpoints and mana, as long as they have eaten recently (see the page on Regeneration for more information).

Paladins regenerate:

• 1 hitpoint every 8 seconds
• 2 mana every 4 seconds

Royal paladins regenerate:

• 1 hitpoint every 6 seconds
• 2 mana every 3 seconds

Promotion

When a paladin reaches level 20, they can purchase a promotion and become a royal paladin with certain benefits.

Tips and tricks

All vocations should use their strengths to their own benefit. For example, it would be pointless for a knight to try and make money selling runes. Instead, use the unique aspects of the vocation to your advantage.

Compared to the other classes, paladins gain the most experience when hunting alone, because of their efficiency and how their combat style works. That is however, not to say that paladins are useless in team hunts. They simply work better alone than other classes.

Hunting

Hunting as a paladin is simple in comparison to other vocations.

• Paladins are distance fighters. They avoid staying in melee range due to the decreased attack accuracy with ranged weapons. They use the environment to their advantage and keep their enemies at a distance.

• Paladins focus on physical attacks. They have access to ammunition that deals elemental damage and they can use various types of runes, but are far less effective in dealing elemental damage than mages.

• Use the offensive fighting mode. When you're wielding a ranged weapon, you gain no benefit from shielding and the defensive fighting mode limits your damage output.

• Paladins are efficient. Both their healing and damage are cost-effective.
• Paladins are decent blockers. Although they lack the ability to challenge, many monsters do not switch targets often, allowing a paladin to substitute a knight. Paladins have less health than knights but can also heal more efficiently if a druid is not present. Paladins, however, do not have access to stronger physical resistance gear like knights do.

Advancing your skills

Magic level

While magic level is not as important to a paladin as it would be to a mage, a high magic level significantly boosts a paladin's damage output, as you can use an instant spell or a combat rune in the same turn as a ranged attack.

• Use instant combat spells while hunting. It is the best way to train magic level for any class. Use Divine Missile or Ethereal Spear as often as you can to maximize magic level advancement.
• Avoid having full mana. Your magic level advances by spending mana to cast spells. Every second with full mana could potentially be spent training your magic level.
  • If you are a Premium Account player and you have a daily reward streak of 6 or more days, you are advised to stay inside resting areas (such as depots, temples and houses) since you will regenerate twice as much mana as you would regenerate outside those places.
• Always eat. Make sure you have access to food at all times. If you run out of food, you will not be able to regenerate mana.
• Sleep in a bed. If you are a Premium Account player, it's strongly recommended to put your paladin to sleep with a full stomach when you're not playing. This will grant you "free" mana that you otherwise wouldn't regenerate offline. It might not seem like much, but doing this constantly will be really helpful for your magic level.

Shielding

Although paladins are ranged fighters, shielding can help in case close combat cannot be avoided. Training shielding is the same as for knights.

Paladins may have problems training shielding at high distance fighting levels. In that case, paladins can either try a stronger creature or resort to training with a melee weapon.

Note that your shielding level has no effect if you are wielding a two-handed weapon, such as a crossbow.
